servo motor is a linear or rotary actuator with a rotation detector (encoder) mounted on the back shaft side to detect the position and speed of the rotor. The servo motor is not a specific type of motor but rather a combination of a DC motor coupled with a control unit and encoder.
Pros
- Versatility
- Easy to control and program via digital output
- High Precision
- does not require control loop computations
Cons
- High power draw
- Usually more expensive than other motors
- Not suitable for heavy loads (when plastic gear)
